In this Sunday concert the heritage of classical music is presented side by side with entirely new music. Here, audiences will hear short, newly composed works by three composers, performed by two cellists who are all part of Classical link.
Classical link is a mentoring programme initiated by cellist Amalie Stalheim. Since 2023, the programme has served as a creative meeting place for young composers and performers with their work culminating in a Festival concert.
Stalheim is currently selecting this year’s composers and cellists, and further information about the participants and the concert programme will be announced.
